Dakar Demain!!!

Well technically I arrive the day after tomorrow (Sunday) but I leave tomorrow morning at 8am.  I think I have passed the nerves stage and now I am just incredibly excited and ready to go!
I am all packed and checked into my flight.  It will be a long 27 hours of traveling between Seattle, Newark, and Brussels but my arrival in Dakar on Sunday night will make everything worth it.


“But that's the glory of foreign travel, as far as I am concerned. I don't want to know what people are talking about. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.” 


I can't wait for the unknown.

Also I just found this Dakar food blog that will definitely come in handy in the next 4 months!
